I wasn’t just counting the the number of sleeps to go Donna but the hours ad well. Pot in my order a few days ago for 30 copies of Opa’s Convoy letters - was just talking to Jacob ( the fellow from Winnipeg parked beside me with the wine or matron tractor and aluminum step deck trailer. He was at the Ont border parking his rig for the night with an oversized permitted load (not allowed on road when headlights required). He has a couple of drops in southern Ont thdd Ed n will be passing through my area on way to pick up a return wide load in Dorchester. If I receive my books in time I will rendezvous with him at the 402 250 truck stop and give him his 2 copies for his 2 boys (the youngest born a couple months ago). I will never forget when had to leave one day about 3/4 of the way through the “Occupation” with tears in his eyes as he slowly snuck though an honour guard for him.

Thanks, DMA. My apologies for the error. The title and the content in parenthesis mention MILES. But here in Canada, we normally talk about kilometers. I'm mixing both of those in the first paragraph, which turns out to be confusing.
Now that I've double-checked the conversion for 4,500 kilometers, it seems the proper number of miles is 2,800 - rather than the 2,700 in my original title. Yikes.
Most of us that are not in the trucking business are often amazed at the accuracy of the Trucker Convoy logistics. For perspective it’s worth keeping mind these are the very people that define on time on budget, in the full range of adverse condition. Truly, logistics is a trucker’s life. -
Welcome back!

Thank you, Peter, for your amazing support. Hope you get to see Jacob.
Still haven’t learned to proof read before pushing send - sorry
Peter, I use ‘grammarly’ a free program that helps find writing flaws.
Welcome back Donna. Hope your respite was productive. Check 1st sentence math for typo.
